Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon. However, the sun is 390 times further from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon. Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of the moon.

On Earth, a scale shows that you weigh 585 N. What would the scale read on the Moon (g = 1.60 m/s2)? N

Serggg [28]

Answer:

95.51 N

Explanation:

First, find the mass in kg:

Fg = 585 N

Fg = m*g

585 N = m*9.8 m/s^2

Then, to find your weight (Fg) on the moon, you use the same equation of

Fg(moon) = m*g, except this time g = 1.60 m/s^2

Fg(moon) = 59.69 kg * 1.60 m/s^2

Fg(moon) = 95.51 N

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the difference between a counting loop and an infinite loop?

OlgaM077 [116]

REPETITION CYCLES. A repeating structure allows you to execute an instruction or a set of instructions multiple times. A repetitive execution of sentences is characterized by: The sentence or sentences that are repeated. The cycle is one of the most important basic programming structures, as it is present in dissimilar problems. In structured programming there are three types of basic cycles: determined, indeterminate avoidable, and indeterminate unavoidable; On the other hand, visual programming brings with it a revolutionary change in this structure, since the user who controls when the cycle ends is himself, activating an event that signifies the breaking of the cycle.
